Recap
What an interesting game. After how the 1st period went, the fact that the Bears came back and got a point out of this game is a testament to this team. Starting off early in the 1st, at the 3:21 mark, Lehigh Valley got on the board. Former Bear Andrew Gordon scored his 4th of the season, from Blair Jones & Robert Hagg. 3 and a half minutes later, Lehigh Valley made it 2-0. Brandon Manning scored his 4th of the season, from Petr Straka. Philipp Grubauer was a big part of why this period wasn't any worse, as he made 18 saves in the period. After the 1st, the Phantoms had the 20-9 shot advantage.
In the 2nd, the Bears played with a much better attitude and style. They couldn't score on their first power play chance, but they did on their 2nd chance. At the 17:12 mark, Dane Byers scored his 4th of the season, from Chris Conner & Kris Newbury. After the 2nd, the Phantoms had the 25-19 shot advantage. Early in the 3rd, at the 3:30 mark, the Bears tied it at 2. Kris Newbury scored his 10th of the season, from Connor Carrick & Dane Byers (2nd point of the night). The Phantoms had the 32-28 shot advantage going into overtime. With the new overtime rules, the play was fast-paced and hectic. The Bears penalty kill stepped away and helped the team survive a 4-on-3 power play. The Phantoms finished with the 39-29 shot advantage. In the shootout (now 3 rounds with the new rules), the only person to score was Lehigh Valley's Blair Jones. Philipp Grubauer took the loss in a great 37-save performance.
Next Game: Saturday vs. Worcester, 7:00
